A new app, which will be available on multiple devices, provides info on advanced schedules, fan commentary, classic film-related widescreen video content, TCM’s movie blog, and photo galleries, with posters, artwork, and publicity stills. It’ll be available for iPhone, Blackberry, and Android mobile devices.
The first phase brings the TCM mobile device app to iPhone, itouch, Blackberry, and Android mobile devices.
The elements include:
– A complete schedule of movies playing on TCM, with full-month views up to two months in advance, personalized to each fan’s time zone
– An optimized version of the TCM Movie Database, with synopses, credits, trivia, detailed background information from the American Film Institute film catalog and fan comments
– Video content, including movie clips, trailers and TCM promos, all presented in their original aspect ratios, including widescreen content that maximizes the landscape-view option found on some devices, such as the iPhone and itouch
– Photo galleries for films playing on TCM
– An optimized version of TCM’s MovieMorlocks movie blog
– Articles by TCM staff members writing about the history and making of films on TCM
The TCM app is available now in the U.S. for $2.99 from the iTunes app store or at http://itunes.com/apps/tcmmobile.
It’ll be available in the Blackberry App World and Android Market in February.
